I have been practicing orthodontics for over 30 years and it is still a thrill for me to see a shy young patient blossom into a confident person as his or her smile transforms throughout treatment. Being an orthodontist is the best job in the world other than a rock star and I am grateful every day for the patients who trust me to treat them. Im proud to provide award winning smiles for the residents of Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, Orange County, and Monticello, NY.
I graduated with honors from Manhattan College with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and then attended Columbia University School of Dental Medicine where I graduated first in my class with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Several prestigious awards were bestowed upon me during my academic career, including the Alpha-Omega Fraternity Award for Academic Achievement throughout my four-year course of study at Columbia, the Psi-Omega Fraternity Award for highest academic achievement, the CUSDOS Alumni Award for Excellence in Operative Dentistry, the CUSDOS Alumni Award for Excellence in Stomatology, the American Academy of Dental Radiology Certificate of Recognition and the Enrico Fermi Award for Clinical Excellence.
After graduation, I entered a general practice residency at the world-renowned Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and received advanced dental training in all phases of dentistry. After completing my residency, my dental skills were further honed by practicing general dentistry as an associate in two private dental practices in Westchester and Orange counties. My passion for orthodontics drove me to further my schooling. I obtained my post-doctoral orthodontic certificate from Eastman Dental Center.
With a constant emphasis on continuing education to keep me on the leading edge of my profession, I am honored to be Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. I am certified in Invisalign clear aligners and Incognito hidden braces.
I am married to my beautiful wife, Mary, who is a nurse with a BSN degree. We have four boys, one of whom is currently an orthodontist in our practice. When Im not in the office I enjoy weight training, bicycling, and fishing. I have coached youth soccer and football.
I am married to my wonderful wife, Kellie, with whom I have two sons and a daughter. When Im not working I enjoy scuba diving, underwater and regular photography, kayaking, wakeboarding, water skiing, stand-up paddle boarding, and sailing. I also love going camping with the family and am an avid sports fan, especially rooting for the local New York teams.
Knowing that I can change peoples lives by creating beautiful smiles and functional bites, is one of the most rewarding gifts any doctor can receive. Im proud to provide award winning smiles for the residents of Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, Orange County, and Monticello, NY.
I love to hear about my adolescent patients lives and interests and especially enjoy discussing sports with them. They are funny and often come out with some really great stuff. My adult patients are wonderful for sharing family stories, especially since I have three young children of my own.
From a treatment perspective, I love the fact that no two malocclusions are exactly alike, which presents me with a new puzzle to solve each time a new patient walks into the office. Every case must be dissected to determine why the malocclusion is present, and then it is up to me to decide which methods are appropriate for treating the patients concerns as well as providing the best possible outcome.
Dr. Mike is proud to join his dad, Dr. Michael Skrobola along with Dr. Jon Schlosser and the Bracesetters team at all four of our locations! He is looking forward to continuing the tradition of creating award-winning smiles at Bracesetters Orthodontics in Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, and Monticello!
Dr. Mike continued his education at the University of New York at Buffalos School of Dentistry, where he graduated number one in his class and earned his DDS degree. He received awards for excellence in anatomy, physiology and dental occlusion, among others accolades and honors.

I was honestly anxious about having braces in my twenties. I was especially anxious about the horror stories you see in films like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But they were incredibly nice, helpful and understanding. I've recommended to two other people just because of how satisfied I was. You won't go wrong at Bracesetters

The entire team was amazing. I can't begin to list everyone I worked with, but Dr Skrobola and the Newburgh team especially was so great to worth with. I would highly recommend them for any orthodontic needs. They even helped babysit a few times when I had to bring my son into the office. They're a great, caring, friendly team.

Really good ? Idk They just talk and talk until they convenced me to do what they wanted me to do. I called them back for them to help me bc the retainers they sold me are all oxidate disgusting.. they said they will talk to the Dr and call me back.. yes they called back to tell me is nothing they can do but if I wanted to get different retainers they probably can give me a discount!! I will get my retainers but not with you at all! If you want to be paying for something you are not going to use come to this place to spend your money for nothing!

Bracesetters..the very best..Dr Skrobola- none other like him!! Both of my children have walked away with perfect smiles, and the experience has been seamless, even a pleasure! Such a lovely, caring group of people who we have enjoyed seeing with every visit. Dr. Skrobola understood and communicated every detail to us along the way with his delightful personality and genuine people skills. He is a seasoned professional, so confident and capable, you can put your complete trust in his recommendations. Can't say enough, mostly that we will miss our regular visits here, it's been 6 years between 2 kids, and we'll leave with nothing but gratitude and positive memories..along with 2 absolutely perfect smiles! Thank you forever!

Everyone here was so nice and helpful! The whole process from start to finish was so pleasant. Everyone made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. They have several payment options which made it possible for me to even get braces. Dr. Skrobola is so great and Patty helped me go thru the whole process of getting the braces put on while constantly making sure I was okay and comfortable. All around great experience. Highly recommend!

I just got my braces off today and am the happiest I have ever been. Dr. Skrobola is amazing! I told him a little less than two years ago that I was getting married this August and really wanted to get braces. I've always felt self conscious about my teeth and my wedding was the push I needed to move forward with them. He is kind, patient, and thorough. While he knew there was a serious deadline, he still went out of his way to ensure my teeth were an "A+" and this was so much appreciated. I truly feel confident and so happy and can't wait to smile without feeling self conscious because of my teeth on my wedding day. I highly recommend Bracesetters to anyone considering getting braces!! Thank you, Dr. Skrobola!
